The 5-time Grammy award-winning singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer Jacob Collier has announced his biggest European headline tour to date. Next Autumn, following the release of his highly anticipated (already Grammy-nominated) album Djesse Vol. 4 (February 29th Hajanga / Decca / Interscope), Collier and his illustrious band will traverse the continent on a 22-date run, produced by Live Nation, which kicks off in Portugal on 2nd November at Lisbon’s Sala Tejo, followed by shows in Spain, Italy, Germany, Austria, Czech Republic, Poland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Switzerland, and France, culminating in the UK with a special hometown show at The O2 in London.
The announcement comes after the release of Collier’s new single “Witness Me”, featuring Canadian singer-songwriter Shawn Mendes, British rap titan Stormzy and 19-time Grammy-winning gospel legend Kirk Franklin, for a heart-warming ode to the power of empathy. Heralded ‘The World’s Hottest Record’ by BBC Radio 1 this week, you can watch the visualiser video here, which features exclusive behind-the-scenes footage from the official music video, coming Tuesday 28th November.
“Witness Me” is the fourth glimpse into Collier’s next installment of his genre-defying quadruple album project DJESSE, which, alongside previously released singles “Little Blue (feat. Brandi Carlile)”, “Wherever I Go (feat. Lawrence & Michael McDonald)”, “WELLLL” and Grammy-nominated “Never Gonna Be Alone (feat. Lizzy McAlpine & John Mayer)”, gives a fascinating insight into the upcoming album’s extraordinary depth and range.
In the midst of working on Djesse, Collier began turning his concert audiences into sprawling, improvised choirs. While conducting the crowd across the globe, from rock clubs to the Lincoln Center, and even festival fields like Bonnaroo and Glastonbury, droves of fans have all been united in rousing harmony, furthering his guiding belief that everyone in this world has a voice, and is a musician. Having recorded each of his 90+ audience choirs, over 150,000 voices from around the world play a vital role in the story and creation of Djesse Vol. 4.
In the last twelve months alone, videos of Collier’s audience choir have garnered hundreds of millions of views; he was the first-ever male to be featured as a Vogue Darling; he appeared on the July cover of Rolling Stone UK, as well as co-writing and performing on seven tracks of Stormzy's This Is What I Mean. He has also collaborated extensively with Coldplay, performing with them on Saturday Night Live in February, as a featured guest at their Wembley Stadium shows last summer, and on their album Music of the Spheres. He has also contributed to major hits including SZA's "Good Days", songs by Lizzy McAlpine and Kehlani, launched a sold-out signature line of music-making Crocs, and recently headlined his biggest career show to date at the 17000-capacity Hollywood Bowl.
